watchOS just got a lot faster -- at everything

Apple opened up WWDC with details on the latest operating system for the Apple Watch, watchOS3. Overall, today’s focus was on speed and a more iOS-like experience for apps and navigation. To start, the newest watchOS is 7x faster than its predecessor. The lag experienced when launching apps and waiting for it to connect, and then update is gone. Instead, the app now refreshes in the background so it’s available instantly when you want it.
